These files can include multimedia, imaging, transaction processing, large databases,
and other storage-intensive applications.

Each tape cartridge can store up to 100 GB of data (uncompressed), or up to 200 GB of data (compressed), assuming a 2:1 compression ratio.

IBM LTO Ultrium drives share advanced technologies. Advanced multi-track recording capabilities, state-of-the-art
magneto-resistive (MR) flat lap heads and a surface control guiding system are designed to work together to
support extremely high recording densities.

The flat lap head is designed to help improve contact between the read/write recording elements and the tape, supporting high-quality recording and read-back of your data. The surface control guiding system guides tape across the read/write recording heads, using the surface of the tape and not the tape edges.

This feature is intended to help improve the longevity of the tape while minimizing the chance of physical damage to the tape media.

IBM LTO tape systems are designed to provide outstanding levels of reliability that can help you better manage your computing resources.

Designed to provide high-capacity and high performance capabilities, IBM TotalStorage Ultrium tape solutions are well-suited for backup, restore and archive applications in midrange and enterprise-class environments.

They are designed to offer the performance, resiliency and reliability needed to support operations in an e-business on demand™ environment.
